Photoactivatable Fluorophores

Table 1

Photochemical and photophysical parameters [a] associated with representative examples of photoactivatable fluorophores.

	𝜆Ac (nm)	𝜀Ac (mM^−1 cm^−1)	𝜙𝑃	𝜆Ex (nm)	𝜀Ex (mM^−1 cm^−1)	𝜙𝐹	Reference
1a/b	407	29	0.0059	594	54	0.025	[57]
2a/b	350	—	0.03	490	—	0.86	[64]

[a] The reported parameters were measured in EtOH for 1a/b, neutral buffer for 2a/b and 3a/b, poly(vinyl alcohol) for 4a/b, dioxane for 5a/b, and MeCN for 6a/b. 𝜀_Ac and 𝜀_Ex were determined at the wavelengths corresponding to the maxima of the corresponding absorption bands, rather than at the actual 𝜆_Ac and 𝜆_Ex. The missing data were not reported in the original articles.
